STM32F429i-eval1 no default image

Hello,

I recently purchased an STM32F429i-eval1 board. I followed the manual, made sure nothing is loose and unseated, and powered on the device. I read that the board ships with a default image that will display in the UI and flash LEDs. When I power on the eval board, nothing happens.

I checked the DC input is 5V. I also tried to plug in the STLink debug probe and attempted to reprogram the flash thinking maybe it had somehow been erased or not there when shipped, but the IAR workbench IDE says there was no detectable MCU through the JTAG.

Any ideas on what I could have missed or is the unit defective?

Thanks,

DQ

    Well, I feel like a dummy. It was the power jumper.

    Thanks!

    I have some original STM32429I-EVAL board, not the EVAL1 edition, guessing it has a different screen module.

    The User Manual probably doesn't reflect your board issue.

    Make sure the SW1/SW2 switches are in the LEFT (0) setting

    Don't remember there being any specific JTAG/SWD jumpers.

    Board would need powering JP12 PSU, or with JP12 strapped to STlk for the ST-LINK USB to power board
